Multimeter

The multimeter is an instrument that performs a measurement on a signal and then determines one or more specific
properties of that signal and displays these as numeric values.
Displaying can be done using a numerical display or with a gauge.

The multimeter can be used to measure or monitor specific properties of a signal, like RMS value, frequency,
maximum value etc.
When using a gauge display, it can be very helpful when adjusting a circuit for a specific property,
e.g. adjusting an offset to zero.
